Faint not in the day of Adversity
If thou faint in the day of adversity, thy strength is small.
Proverbs 24:10 KJV
Christianity is a bed of roses, with test, trials, temptation and challenging time in this journey of life. This challenging times are what the Bible calls the Evil day (Eph. 6vs13).
Most Christians do pray that temptations should not come, hahaha, why should we avoid the things should should build your FAITH and make you tough. If you faint in the day of trials, temptation and adversity, the Bible says your faith is weak.
James says in chapter 1 vs 2, 'count it all joy when you fall into diverse temptations', verse 2 calls this challenges, the trying, the test of your faith which will work out patience in you.
Fellow Believers, God does not tempt a man, but could allow it to build you up, to
bring you to that place of maturity in your faith in God. If you don't welcome temptation when it comes, you could as well remain in that same position for a very long time. The end one success temptation in life leads to a life changing breakthrough.
Example are seen in scriptures, Job was an example, he was tested and tried but was steadfast, his final end was glorious. Jesus was led to the wilderness to be tempted, you can imagine the outcome of the temptation.
As we steer the course of life, let's remember temptation will always come, but as believers, we have all it takes to overcome.
Shalom
